%A W. De Moor %A M. Brysbaert %J Psychological Research %T Neighbourhood-frequency effects when primes and targets have different lengths %X The present study provides a further investigation of the neighborhood-frequency effect. Using the masked priming procedure, we found that the neighborhood-frequency effect is obtained not only with primes and targets of the same length but also with primes and targets of a different length. This result is not compatible with most current versions of the interactive activation model. Implications of the finding are discussed. %K visual word recognition, interactive activation, neighbors %P 159-162 %V 63 %D 2000 %L cogprints3446
